Setting records

The last couple of days are starting to set into a rhythm, with recording status, going to clinic, taking meds and checking in with nurses. Jen and I are both still pretty sore, both still on painkillers, but trying to wean ourselves off. Jen has been having strange dreams with her Percocet, so called the nurse today for a different one.
I did labs on Monday, and the transplant nurse called back Tuesday with results. All my numbers are in range, and my renal function is now at 1.3, which is just exactly the same as Jen's before she went into the hospital. Coincidence?
Aetna's transplant nurse also called today to check in to see how we were doing. She was also calling to confirm that I checked out last Friday. After confirming, she said that she's been doing this job for 8 years, and she's never heard of another patient getting released by Dr's. to go home in three days.
I hope that we're not going to pay the price for that. So far, all our numbers are right on for where we should be in recovery. My biggest challenge is eating and drinking enough. The meds change the taste of food, don't have much of an appetite yet with the pain, still am kind of swollen in the abdomen, which only time will fix, so not lots of room for a full pizza. Plus I have to drink at least 2 liters of fluid a day, and that is somewhat a challenge as well.
Jen said today that she finally got up the nerve to look at her incisions. While she was under the impression that laproscopic surgery would only leave three small incisions, seems that one, about 4 inches long, doesn't fall into the "small category". We went for a walk today down the street, did about a couple of blocks, and I did a separate one this morning, so we are starting to get around better. It was slow going, and I was winded when I got back, but we made it. Jen even went out shoe shopping yesterday, so she's doing much better.

Tomorrow is another lab and clinic, so we'll see how we're progressing again.
